Based on first looks this place looks like it’s going to be great place! But looks can be deceiving. The food is not the best at best sub par. I had the breakfast burrito and the harvest toast. The burrito was missing something couldn’t put my finger on it but it was not clicking. They also don’t give enough salsa so if you do get the burrito make sure you ask for an extra side of salsa. The toast had tomatoes that were not a reasonable size for toast. Yet the flavor was good. The drinks are also below Starbucks caliber and I’m not a fan of Starbucks. I had the mint latte not enough mint that’s for sure. I would also say that the prices are a little steep. So if you’re ballin’ on a budget this is not the place for you.

Spacious seating and spectacular smoothies.

Fantastic quick breakfast experience. The hostess was so sweet, and when we had to make a last minute change to-go the staff was very accommodating. The waffle (excuse my at home plating attempt) was one of the best I've had in ages. Loaded with delicious toppings. I also give the cinnamon latte 5 stars, perfectly flavored without being too sweet. The decor/atmospheres is casual and cute. If I lived here I'd definitely make a return trip.

Oat milk and regular cappuccino was delicious and loved the intense flavor of the grilled veggie bowl. If you are looking to be waited on this is not the place for you. Place your order at the front and they promptly deliver the food to your table. Nothing more and it’s wonderful :)Love the atmosphere and food is all prepared right in front of you. Nice little gem in little Italy ??

Originally planned on going somewhere elseFor breakfast but as we walked, we saw this place and changed plans! Very very good shakshuka - sharp tomato flavor and a really nice spice to it. Bliss bowl was a really nice and fresh/sweet contrast to the shakshuka. Between two, it was a nice shared brunch!

Stopped here twice while visiting SD. Iced salted maple latte and iced cinnamon honey latte were both great. Pecan bar was really good too.

literally amazing! my bff & my gf & i came here for brunch & we all loved the food & the vibe!! i wish i lived in california so i could come back more frequently. my vegan gf & i were so happy to see all the yummy vegan options <3

A San Diego local favorite cafe and juicery in the heart of Little Italy. The bakery items and smoothies are always on point. But the bowls are my favorite thing on the menu - they come with a hearty serving of açaí and are topped with fresh fruits & granola. I love stopping by here for a quick healthy breakfast or an afternoon snack when I’m in the neighborhood.

Great coffee and breakfasts! Coffee drinks are strong and smooth. We had the acai bowl and oatmeal/quinoa bowl. Both delicious!

We went to the Parakeet Cafe for breakfast. I had the açai bowl and my husband had the overnight oats and both were delicious. We each ordered a cappuccino which was excellent. In this café you order when you arrive and sit at your table and wait to be served. The service was very quick. I will definitely go back during my stay in San Diego.
